    Ati nur235 paediatrics final proctored exam

    An infant has been admitted to the pediatric unit with a diagnosis of pyloric stenosis. What would the nurse expect in the plan of care for this client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    . While pain management is important, the primary treatment for pyloric stenosis is surgical correction, not just analgesic medication. B. Preparation for surgical correction, specifically a pyloromyotomy, is the standard treatment for pyloric stenosis to relieve the obstruction. C. A barium enema is not used in the diagnosis or treatment of pyloric stenosis; it is typically used to diagnose other gastrointestinal conditions. D. Thickened feedings with rice cereal are not indicated for pyloric stenosis and would not resolve the obstruction.
